You would be better off using Inventor or maybe even Inventor Fusion.  AutoCAD is too primitive a program for what you want to do.

Yes, I have several nice drawings of intravascular stents but I'm trying to design a novel one.  I can easily create a 2D stent pattern within AutoCAD.  But then, how do I "wrap" the pattern into a tube thus creating a stent?]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2012 00:46:34 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=8490&PID=21776&title=autocad-2103-stents#21776 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=8490&PID=21775&title=autocad-2103-stents#21775 Author: John Connor

What do you mean "because height must be held constant in 3D mode"?

What exactly is the problem?

You can buy a 3D model of a coronary stent and balloon catheter at the 3DScience.com website for $120 U.S.

I'm interested in using AutoCAD to design intravascular stents but, because height must be held constant in 3D mode, am having some difficulty.  Does anyone have a basic .dwg file depicting a stent?]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:23:08 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=8490&PID=21774&title=autocad-2103-stents#21774
